(-1, -11)
13 is 7 away from 6, and -1 is 5 away from 6. Subtract 7 away from 6, and 5 away from -6.
13 is 7 away from 6, and -1 is 5 away from 6. Subtract 7 away from 6, and 5 away from -6.
Answer: The other endpoint of the segment is (-1, -11).
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the midpoint of a line segment is (6, -6) and one endpoint is (13, -1).
We are to find the co-ordinates of the other endpoint.
Let (a, b) be the co-ordinates of the other end-point.
Then, according to the given information, we have
[tex]\left(\dfrac{a+13}{2},\dfrac{b+(-1)}{2}\right)=(6,-6)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{a+13}{2},\dfrac{b-1}{2}\right)=(6,-6).[/tex]
Equating the x and y co-ordinates on both sides of the above, we get
[tex]\dfrac{a+13}{2}=6\\\\\\\Rightarrow a+13=12\\\\\Rightarrow a=12-13\\\\\Rightarrow a=-1[/tex]
and
[tex]\dfrac{b-1}{2}=-6\\\\\\\Rightarrow b-1=-12\\\\\Rightarrow b=-12+1\\\\\Righatrrow b=-11.[/tex]
Thus, the other endpoint of the segment is (-1, -11).
